I have been observing at an Dental office and it has been exciting...Things have been coming back to me a lot...I know more than I give myself credit for...

I have watching the Dental hygienist and picking her brain..

I received a response from the University of Texas in San Antonio about a clinical refresher. Cost is around 2000.00 plus other expenses but at least it is in Texas. They came highly recommended by another Dental Hygienist so I definitely want to go..

So got to come up with some major moolah...I'm taking donations if anyone is interested...<wink> Just teasing <sort of>HA!!!!

My husband sent me the sweetest text message today telling me he loved and supported me...I love having him

in my life...he is such a keeper...

God has sent people in my life just when I needed them on this journey and I have made some lasting friendships...

Wow am I ever bitchy today...If I didnt know better I would think it was PMS..

I can't blame PMS because I don't have those monthly visits anymore and havent for 5 years...

Even my husband looked at me and said wow you are really mean today...

I felt this way when I woke up....

I think it is due to sleep deprivations..

You don't want to be around me when I consistantly dont get enough sleep..

I thought and I thought..

Maybe its because I really haven't caught up from Mississippi I didnt sleep well there was scared at that crazy hotel and then I worked a over night and didnt sleep yesterday and then last night I couldn't sleep well...

Hubby was doing sleep study at the DR office and kids slept with me..

I kept waking up thinking isnt it time for him to be home...dog kept wanting out..Youngest keep kicking me in the back....then damn alarm went off..hubby forgot to turned it off...

This is an entry from October 17,2004...Thought it was worth repeating LOL LOL

What is the longest distance in the world? Think about it....huh huh huh huh huh ..what is your guess? Hummmm from here to the sun you say nope

Guess again come on come on. From here to eternity and back nope wrong again give up give up

OK OK ready got a pencil to write down the answer<yes there will be a pop quiz later>

The longest distance in the whole wide world issssssss drum roll please The distance that it takes to move a dirty dish in our sink to the dishwasher HA!!!

It is only 2 feet thats right 2 lousy feet!!!! Now I dont have a problem with the distance oh no but the rest of my family are distance challenged.

Dont they make medication for this... surely the FDA is aware of this massive problem. Get the batphone alfred alert the press.:-)

What I am proud is they can pile those dirty dishes as high Mount Everest. Yes Sir REEE!!!

If piling dirty dishes in the sink was a jinga game my family would win. I can see it now....OPPPs there is an empty space if I stuck that bowl just right very carefully ok dont breathe it will fall now run run before mom gets here. Now I don't have the proof this happens but I'm psychic you know all moms are psychic. :-)

I have eyes in the back of my head in fact hold on yeah I knew it my head just went completly around.

I spoke with the lady that runs the instrumentation refresher 3 day course in CT...The class costs 1800.00 plus books plus instruments... so were looking at about 3000.00 when you count airfare and hotel...

The course is given in April..so that gives me very little time to work and raise the money...Not to mention study for my nationals which is march 28

This is stressing me out...I don't feel strongenough in the actual cleaningof the teeth because it has been 23 years. I know once I practice a little I will be fine but damn 3000.00

We are not rich by any means...I don't want to go into the clinical board blind because the board alone costs 810.00..if you fail then it is another 810 dollars to take again

I hate this why does it have to be so hard...

I'm thinking of going to the DR and getting something for my nerves...my stomach feels like an acid pit

So what do you want first the good or the bad news... I will start with good since there isn't as much of it....

8 hours drive to Hattiesburg Mississippi went fine...

I met an amazing person name Jane Weiner the speaker of the course..

I thoroughly enjoy her company....and all her words of wisdom..

Had a wonderful dinner with Jane and know I will enjoy a new found friendship

I meet some sweet girls from Meridian and southern Mississippi

Got some cool prizes... The seminar was awesome and I really enjoyed it..

With that being said.......

Bad news......

We all were in the Howard Johnson from Hell...

That was only place we could get a room in that town...

Terrible rooms....

things didn't work in the room like phones toliets..TV remotes

Toilet didn't flush and ran over

holes in doors where peep holes should be instead they were cover with duct tape... that didnt stick

Doors didnt shuts all the way so you could see light cracking through the door

hairs on pillow and sheet...

crappie customer service and some scary ass rough looking people still living there from the Hurricane who felt the need to party very late one evening I guess untill 1:00 AM...

I am cliff noting this tremendously... I could write paragraphs on how bad this place was..

I even called the 800 customer service complaint line

I got so sick Thursday evening...bladder infection from hell....spent all day Friday when ever we got a break from the seminar I was on the phone trying to get my Dr in Texas to call me in some antibiotics to the walgreens in Mississippi...

The Dr came through for me however the walgreens there was so busy that I wasn't able to get the meds until Friday at 10:30..

Saturday I felt the worst of all...

Sunday seminar was over at 12:00

Said good bye to all the nice girls I met...and drove back another 8 hours...

I will never drive that far again I will only fly next time...

Traveling alone sucks... and for me as a woman was very scarey...especially were we stayed...

I learned alot and now I will be studying everyday until march 28 when I take the tests...

I called my husband as I drove out of hattiesburg to tell him I was on my way home and tears started flowing uncontrollable...I missed them so much and had been so nervous and scared every night at that hotel alone...

Tomorrow I'm off to Mississippi for a 3 day intensive study for national boards...

The drive will be long but I will survive.<hey isn't there a song I will survive lol>..I'm looking forward to being around fellow Dental Hygienists and hearing the speaker talk...I here she is great...

I worked last night took care of a 72 year old woman who had plastic surgery and sang opera...she looked good..Didn't look 72 but then that is the point right LOL LOL

I told my hubby that in our 11 years of marriage this will be the 3rd time I have ever been away from him and the kids both at the same time...

If I'm away from him I usually have the kids and if I' m away from the kids I'm usually with him...The other 2 times I was in the hospital so.doesn't count the same...

Hubby called today....

Hubby: Hey sweetie did you get some sleep since you worked last night

ME: Naugh I'm good...

Hubby: did you pack yet?

ME:<laughing> Right you know me better than that I'm a last minute type of girl...

Hubby: that's true...well I will help you all I can to get you ready for your trip

Me: oh honey that is so sweet your such a great husband

<sound good so far right well read further>

Hubby: Yes I will I'll help you pack and even check under your hood for you if you need...Starts dieing laughing
